In a new video recorded during a Microsoft Hackathon in September 2022, where Microsoft engineers can showcase their ideas for Windows, we get an early look at what a potential Windows 11 handheld mode could look like.

This isn't confirmation that Microsoft will add handheld support to an upcoming Windows 11 release, but proof that it's aware and looking into it. With the sheer number of PC gaming handhelds hitting the market, you hope that Microsoft is seriously considering making this a reality. The recently announced ASUS ROG Ally, which runs Windows 11, will be positioned as a Steam Deck alternative - so there's more than enough reason to do so.

Windows leaker WalkingCat shared the brief video for Windows Handheld Mode on Twitter, which outlines the rise of the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck and the need for improved Windows support for such devices.

 
Hope it can be streamed. However, there might be issues making it run Xbox stuff I would guess.
 
I wonder how well will Windows 11 run on Steam Deck which specs is not as powerful as a Gaming Laptop.
